Sunset Rubdown - For the Pier (and Dead Shimmering)

This song is a kick ass song if there ever was one.

the only song i can possibly choose is LCD Soundsystem "Someone Great".

really just a perfect song.

Nice top song choices. Thanks for reminding me how good "505" is.

you should try also The Coral's "Music At Night".its the closer track of their new album n its in the same vibe with "505".

It's going to be my number 1 song also.

Though the full album is marred by inconsistency, the "I'm Not There" official soundtrack has some great tunes on it. Here are the ones that I liked the best:

Cat Power - "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues"
Sufjan Stevens - "Ring Them Bells"
Karen O - "Highway 61 Revisited"

Anyone who is a Dylan fan needs to get this album and see the movie, a great artistic expression of such an interesting individual.

I'll post another list of songs for you guys soon.

Arrowheadings - by the French Semester

My music listening was pretty basic this year, I mostly just checked out the obvious favorites (of myself and others)--not much adventurous exploring done. So my list is a little bland:

"Impossible Germany" - Wilco
"Nobody Wants To" - Crowded House
"Bodysnatchers" - Radiohead
"Australia" - The Shins

Marissa Nadler - Diamond Heart

Just mentioned on another link how great her voice is. Nice choice with this song, will be in my top 10 also.

07 Hot Chip - My Piano

I've got these three as well, plus alternative from Boxer "Apartment Story" Especially happy to see someone else out there giving 505 props...it's such a perfectly orchestrated build.

You know every female and most male r and b/ hip hop (I don't know what you call it) singers at the moment like cris brown, ne yo, ciara, all sound like a watered down version of M.I.A.

The lead singer of the pussycat dolls wants to go solo, guess what her song sounds like. It is like the default sound.

In fact if you are female, solo and mainstream, you either sound like kelly clarkson's version of the spice girls or M.I.A. But only the latter if you can/are willing to have a raunchy image.

interesting point prairie fire but i will have to kindly disagree with your statement. i haven't heard anything remotely close to what m.i.a is making.. admittedly, paper planes is pretty accessible but you'd be hard pressed to find another song on that album that would please the ears of top 40 fans. m.i.a takes many more chances in both her lyrics and beats. you say that artists like chris brown & kelly clarkson are watered down versions of her but i'd say that they're on entirely different planes. theres not enough water in lake ontario to turn a m.i.a tune into a kelly clarkson top 40 hit.
